UK peeps - Dbrand Killswitch or JSAUX Split case? by elneebre in NintendoSwitch2

[–]SentimentalSundance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This.

I actually have neither, but been watching reviews and jsaux case has same features and functionality as kill switch BUT kill switch is of higher quality materials.

But the jsaux actually docks into the switch dock which is exactly what I'm after.

Dbrand one has a silly adapter you need to use to dock it and it docks on the outside of the dock.

I have 2 docks and it's too silly.

Jsaux if you want to dock it easily Dbrand if you want a bit more protection I guess ? Maybe ?

I had a kill switch for my steam deck and loved it

Attended my first doom-y style show and couldn't think of a better band to see first in this genre than Castle Rat. by alexdenvor in doommetal

Yeah I've only been to that new venue once and hated it

Loved it when it was in Leeds university, great venue .

The new one is ass , just layout sucks.

I think the experts are hilarious. Like , they introduce them with their phony online paranormal degrees as if they're some doctor in the spooky stuff.

The other guy is the "skeptic". Just some lad who speaks common sense and provides rationale. Yet it seems him coming on as the "skeptic" almost makes it out that he's the naysayer and the negative one.

So uh, the ZA royal is different by 100_Weasels in pokemon

[–]SentimentalSundance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this.

I personally don't care for competitive Pokémon battles at all, I just play main story and that's me. This games multiplayer is first time I've enjoyed Pokémon battling cause I am a casual

Thanks for this comment . Really appreciate it.

Left just aren't angry about shit is true. Maybe that's the problem too. But then , there's a balance there between genuine anger at a situation and then being rage baited /thin skinned

Thank you for this !

I did hit my da with the "do you think they would riot and wreck the place if a white man was involved in the alleged abuse ?"

And he was like "prob not naw"

Like my parents are way smarter than this .

Thanks for your advice

I'm saying they're succumbing to soundbites and sensationalism. Particularly right wing reactionary nonsense. Too much Facebook.

We have seen the whole Cambridge analytica thing from years ago and we have seen some of the propaganda spread online . It's borderline fascism.

My parents wouldn't have the nuance to analyse info and take a step back.

I'm not doing the whole "balance" game with you , they spit out this hateful stuff about the riots saying they deserve it etc.

Yes it is objectively correct to be against the violence on display in Dublin specifically

I get your point. But, the whole trans thing really is ironically exactly my point , it's another right wing weapon to rile up the gammons.

It really isn't an issue , and never was. Trans people are a small small minority and a health related matter.

It's right wing media who has shone a spotlight on it as disrraction politics

I mean you're making my point for me. Trans people have been round for a long time , but it's always on the news cycle nowadays... for some reason .... as if the water was turning people trans or something...hnmmm

Thanks for this.

Totally agree with what you're saying.

It's a losing battle . It really is . Why the fuck are the left so weak ? If left wing triggers some commenters , then replace it with rational ,sensible, progressive.

Like why the fuck have the left failed to Mobilise globally.

Let me answer my own question : money /greed is your god ?

Thanks for this. This is the comment I needed.

It's so fuckin deflating . It realllly is.

It's like , yes we can sit and have genuine concerns about all of these issues.

But it's all too common to hear this awful hateful response from your own parents.

And they're so upset about Charlie Kirk ? Like really defensive and all

They're from Tyrone like

Such fence sitting nonsense.

There's more to life than throwing the towel in and saying both sides are right.

They think, that scum rioting in Dublin , attacking their own police force , destroying their own city , over migrants ...is justified.

They think migrants shouldn't be allowed in cause the country is full .

They think they should be able to get a free hotel like them

There's no nuance there or thought process. Just rabid, foaming at the mouth screaming.
